Revisited: Baby Shower gift basket

Sometimes a friend is having a baby and I don't know what to make or what to give. My original plan had been to make a quilt for my good friend's first child, "Baby G." A few mutual friends decided we would all get together and make items using similar fabrics to make them match or seem more like a collection. One of the ladies in the group really wanted to make a quilt so I thought I might stretch myself and see what else I might be able to come up with...

Burp rag made from a cloth diaper

Two versatile burp rags/lap layers

Burp rag, misc layers, & 3 cloth blocks

I already had new unused colored cloth diapers and white cloth diapers so I started with those items. The two lap pads have a layer of cloth diaper in them to be more absorbent and can be placed on one's lap or under a child at changing times just in case. I made three cloth blocks from a square print one of the ladies was using in her project. My favorite part of all these items is the 3-D Butterfly on the pink burp rag!
